What is your “WHY” for teaching? I love teaching because I want to make an impact on kids while they are young so that they will grow up to be active community members.
Area of Expertise: I primarily teach reading and writing. I love working with the kids to come up with community partners for projects. I also enjoy helping them execute their vision for their PBLs.
What is your PBL experience? I have been a PBL facilitator for four years.
What is your favorite aspect of PBL? My favorite thing about PBL is developing citizenship in my students. I get to watch them become community activists, who can recognize and fulfill the needs of others.
Why do you enjoy facilitating? My favorite thing about facilitating is that every year is different. I never teach the same thing because every group of kids is different. The standards are the same but the content and interests the kids have are always unique.
